It is recognised that to keep the environment of Church Minshull as desired by the residents then a proactive approach should be developed to allow the community to respond to external pressure to add homes, to cope with demand for cheaper energy sources by from within and to deal with anti-social behaviours such as littering.
Within the questionnaire responses there was a balanced view on whether there was a need for new homes however if there was to be any, there was a majority view that the most likely requirement in the community was for 'affordable housing'. There was also a reasonable level of interest in possible community led green energy initiatives.
Without a coordinated approach to planning and energy there is a danger that our community could be blighted by unwanted development and a proliferation of essential energy creation technologies that could possibly be better applied as a community.
At the open events an expansion of the Parish Council instigated litter picks was discussed to allow a broader area to be covered and to potentially connect this to social events to build community spirit.
This could then be further extended to allow Church Minshull to enter the Cheshire Best Kept Village competition again and to do this as a culmination of a number of community activities.
